Hi, Kakatapos ko lang sa interview ko with the CEO for a managerial post. Based on my recruitment consultant, I did great and the first 2 interview really commended me. They appreciate my industry background and work experience. I recently had a chance to talk to the CEO. I think I did fairly well. Ask ko lang sana with the salary expectation. Based on the company budget it was around 75k to 90k. It is like 3 times higher based on my current role as a specialist. my expected salary will be around 60-75k it is lower than there expected budget. The recruiter said this is possible but the problem is if they would ask for a payslip. Do you guys have experience with this kind of salary increase. I believed I am really qualified and communicated what can they expect with me and what I can bring in the table. What's your take in applying a higher role/responsibility and a higher salary. Gusto ko lang po mangarap ng magandang sahod hehe

Stick with what you've asked for, kung dagdagan nila thank you. But please don't try to re-negotiate your pay after already providing your expected salary. It doesn't look good especially since you're in a managerial role.
As for jumping 3x from current pay to expected salary, that's not a big deal typically. Its quite common, give your payslip and don't think too much about it. If they re-negotiage your rates, stick to your asking price.
Firm decisions will get you far.

Yes. Tumalon ako from 50 to 175 lol basta alam mo naman yung value you can bring, you can back that up with tangible skills and past projects, and they are convinced; they will make way for that to happen. All three conditions must be satisfied tho

Yes, its the role that you are paid for not your current salary in general.
I have one direct report, prior ro joining my team, this person earns around 75k monthly, joining my team, the monthly salary jumped to 145k. I paid that person for the job they will do with my team, their current salary will only play a role if its close to the budget that i have. Since they are way below, it will impact my internal equity and giving the person a lower salary will not go well with me and my team plus its a headache in HR to see there is too much variance in my team.
Likely, they will give you a base line amount.

I jumped from 35k to 80K. Stick with ur asking if confident ka sa skills mo, if not, kung confident na fast learner ka naman. I even shared my payslip with them. Di ka naman nila pagbibigyan ng asking mo if they think you are not worth the price.

If your skills can back it up, ask for the provided budget for the role. Your current salary shouldn’t be an issue. Most of the time, recruiters want to know how much you currently earn so they know how to lowball you.

Did you ask if they have a performance increase program? Do they do annual performance reviews and how much do they usually increase pay on average for a high performing employee? I think if they are generous on that part then I think you should be fine as long as you can deliver high performance whatever their metrics are.

My expected salary was 10k lower than their budget and when the boss told me that, I jokingly said na yung 10k higher pala asking ko. And they gave it. After I was regularized, dagdag 10k uli. Im happy I asked. i was transparent din about my then lower salary para they know im thankful for the jump. 1 yr with them, so far so good!

If nasa budget ng role, it won't matter yong payslip.

You're applying for the role, not the salary. Kung makapasa ka at makuha yung role, it follows na makukuha mo yung salary na nararapat dun sa role.
I don't know what your recruiter is on about. Obviously, if you get the role, it would be like a promotion for you. So, why would the salary bump be an issue if a salary bump is expected anyway?
